Best Practices

Be specific with topics - "AI for small business accounting" beats "AI"
Choose relevant platforms - Where your audience actually consumes content
Analyze intent carefully - Match your content to what users want
Look for gaps - The best content fills needs others miss
Use data to validate - Don't assume, verify with trend data
Update regularly - Trends change; research monthly for active topics

Limitations

Real-time data requires API access to platforms (not included in skill)
Some platforms limit data access (e.g., X API changes)
Search volume estimates are approximations
Trend data represents past performance, not future guarantees
